Shift of Dodgers To LA Subject Of Loop Monday Los Angeles U.R) Plans to shift the Brooklyn Dodgers to Los Angeles will be discussed in New York Monday at a secret meeting called, by President Warren Giles of the National Baseball League, the Los An geles Herald-Express said last night - The newspaper said it receiv ed a tip on the meeting from a "highly authentic" source. . It had been previously an nounced that the proposed in- 1: -i I'm i xi vasion oi v-auiunua oy me ma jor, leaguer would be discussed at the-National League's annual meeting in New York ".Dec. 9. : The newspaper said it learned that the special meeting was called without publicity, to off set possible plans in the Ameri can League to expand to 10 clubs at the earliest possible opportunity. sometime after the 10th round. However, neither man is noted for his prowess as a knocker- outer. Carter has 26 kayoes in 93 fights, DeMarco only seven in 81. "I think I'll get to him some time after the 10th round," says Carter. Lays Lou Jo Slow Start He blames a slow start when he lost the decision and the crown to Paddy last March. Carter has held the title off-and-on since first winning it from Ike Williams in 1951. He probably is the most "inconsis tent" champion inv history with a record of always winning the second time around against any foe he lost to the first time. He lost the crown to Lauro Salas in May, 1952, regained it from him in October of the same year. He also lost to Art Ara gon in 1951 in a non-title go, then won when the title was at stake the same year from the same man. He lost in 1953 to Armand Savoie in a non-title go, then knocked Savoie out in the fifth round of a title bout. So, if history repeats itself, he should win over DeMarco. But DeMarco has a victory campaign mapped out. He fig ures that no matter which way Carter fights, he'll still- keep the crown. . "If Carter starts , fast," says DeMarco, "I'll be ready for him; and if he starts slow, he'll find that he has been left behind." Postponed Twice DeMarco, who forced post ponement of this fight twice, first with an injury, then an ill ness, has been in rigorous train ing here for more than a month. But he hasn't had a fight since winning the crown from Carter in March. (Many think that will throw his timing off. The champion's record, in fact is a bit spotty over the last couple of years. Before winning the crown from Carter, he drop ped three split decisions in a row to Johnny Gonzalves, Or lando Zulueta and Tony DeMar co. v.. - .. - Carter's only loss in his last seven bouts was the title go to DeMarco. The complete records show: DeMarco 81 fights, '68 won, 11 lost and two draws, with sev en - knockouts; Carter 93 fights, 68 won, 17 lost and eight draws, with 26 knockouts.

THE" OLD CROW DISTILLERY COMPANY. FRAJUCFORI. KX Ralph Kiner Sees Series Opportunity Palm Springs, Calif. (U.R) Ralph Kiner, Cleveland's high salaried, home run-hitting ac quisition from the National League, said today, he almost lost hope of playing in a World Series before his surprise trade to the pennant-winning Indians. "Every balk player wants to play in that one," said Kiner. "I guess the last time I seriously thought I might make it was in 1948 with the Pirates." Pittsburgh finished fourth that year and then settled deep in the NL second division de spite Kiner's steady home run production. In 1933, the Pirates sold him to another second di vision team with only the faint est pennant hopes, the Cubs, who traded him to Cleveland. First Good Chance "It's . the first really good chance I've had of making a series since I started playing in the majors," said Kiner. Seven National League clubs signed waivers on the slugger, whose salary is estimated at $60,000 a year. Only 32 years old, Kiner said he was in "swell shape" and could see "no reason at all why I shouldn't have a fine season" with the Indians next year. He hit 22 homers with the Cubs last year while his best season was 54 four-baggers in 1949. "And I'd like to play at least another four seasons!" he said. Kiner said he thought playing with b better ball club would take some of the pressure off his shoulders. , . "It's always much easier to play when you're winning," he said. "When you're losing you always look back and take it out on yourself for not doing better."
